Springfield Announces Long-Action 2020 Waypoints

Springfield Armory has expanded its bolt-action rifle line by introducing the Long-Action 2020 Waypoints. Because of this, shooters can choose new chamberings, such as 7mm Rem. Mag., 7mm PRC, .300 Win. Mag., 300 PRC, .270 Win. and .30-06. 

The heart of these rifles is the custom-grade Model 2020 action. Springfield took advantage of advanced manufacturing methods to hold incredibly tight tolerances. The Cerakote finished action features an integral recoil lug and is machined from pre-hardened stainless steel with EDM cut raceways. The fluted bolt can be disassembled without tools and employs dual cocking cams.

The Model 2020 Waypoint strikes a balance between light weight and rugged durability. The company achieved through the use of a premium, hand-painted, 100-percent carbon fiber stock by AG Composites. This stock is hand-laid and pillar-bedded for precision and repeatability. Available in both adjustable and standard configurations, the stock features QD mounts for versatile carry, M-Lok slots for mounting bipods and accessories, and is hand-painted in a choice of Ridgeline or Evergreen camo.

The long-action rifles are available with a free-floated, carbon-fiber-sleeved barrel. It contains subsurface fluting that reduces weight and provides cooling channels to promote cold-bore to warm-bore repeatability. It also enhances the Waypoint’s packable weight and performance. However, the company also offer the rifles with a traditional fluted stainless-steel barrel. A TriggerTech “Field” trigger, adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds, provides a crisp, clean break.

“The release of the Model 2020 Waypoint marked a new era for modern bolt-action rifles from Springfield Armory,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “Building on this tradition are these new long-action variants, bringing new levels of performance and power to hunters and shooters.”
